Why did RTS games lose popularity?
Rts is no longer popular because it has nothing innovative, there are no tournaments to attract new players. Rts currently has nothing innovative that is different from other new game genres. In terms of graphics, many new games will attract players, but the graphics in rts are only a secondary factor. Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 remain absolutely excellent in introducing players to the genre of RTS. Maybe Dragon Force, or it’s sequel, Dragon Force 2. They’re sort of halfway between traditional JRPGs and RTSs. I’m not into Realtime Strategy games, but I quite liked them.
